Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how Qorrect ("we", "our", or "us") handles your information when you use our mobile application. Qorrect is designed with a strong commitment to your privacy. Your contacts stay on your device. Two features communicate with servers: the Greek-name-suggestion feature, which sends only a contact's first and last name, and advertising in the free version, which is served by Google AdMob. No phone numbers, emails, addresses, or other contact identifiers are ever transmitted to either.

Information We Don't Collect

Qorrect is built on the principle of data minimization. For Greek name suggestions, we only transmit first and last names to our servers — no phone numbers, emails, addresses, or other contact identifiers are ever sent. These names are processed to produce the suggestion and are not stored against you or any device. All other contact data processing, including phone-number formatting, modifications, and backups, happens exclusively on your device. This approach aligns with Apple's privacy guidelines.

Contact Data

Qorrect requires access to your device's contacts to function. We use this access to:

  • Read your existing contacts
  • Add international country code prefixes to phone numbers
  • Create backups of modified data (stored locally on your device only)
  • Perform background processing of contacts (all processing occurs locally on your device)

Important: For Greek name suggestions only, the contact's first and last name are sent to our servers — this is required for that feature. No phone numbers, emails, addresses, or other personal or contact identifiers are transmitted. The only non-name values sent alongside a name are a temporary match token (an on-device identifier used to line the result back up with the right contact — not stored on our servers) and the selected country code. All other processing happens locally on your device.

Notifications

Qorrect can send push notifications to inform you when background processing of contacts is complete. These notifications are:

  • Generated and displayed entirely on your device
  • Not sent through or stored on any external servers
  • Optional and can be disabled at any time in the app settings

The app may request permission to send notifications. You can grant or deny this permission, and you can change your preference at any time in your device settings.

Background Processing

Qorrect includes a feature for daily background processing of contacts. This feature:

  • Runs locally on your device at scheduled times
  • Processes contacts only on your device with no data transmitted externally
  • Maintains logs of processing activities that are stored only on your device
  • Is optional and can be disabled in the app settings

Greek Name Processing

The Greek-name-transliteration feature is the only part of Qorrect that contacts a server. When you use it, Qorrect sends the contact's name so it can be converted to properly accented Greek:

  • The contact's first and last name are the only personal data transmitted, and they are required — the feature cannot produce a suggestion without them.
  • No phone numbers, email addresses, physical addresses, or any other contact information is ever sent.
  • The only non-name values sent are a temporary match token — an on-device identifier used purely to match each result back to the right contact in the response; it is not a name, phone, or email, is not linked to your identity, and is not stored on our servers — and the selected country code (a setting, such as GR or CY).
  • Names are processed to generate the suggestion and are not stored against you, your device, or the match token. Our server keeps only an anonymous translation cache — a Greeklish spelling mapped to its Greek form — which is never tied to a person, device, or contact.
  • All transmission uses encrypted HTTPS connections.

What We Send to Our Server

For full transparency, here is exactly what leaves the device when the Greek-name feature runs — a request to qorrect-api.qloud.ltd and the response it returns. The authorization key is omitted and the match token is shown as a placeholder.

Request

POST https://qorrect-api.qloud.ltd/transliterate/full-names
Authorization: Bearer <app key, omitted>
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "names": [
    { "fullName": "giannis papadopoulos", "contactId": "<on-device match id>" }
  ],
  "context": "GR"
}

Response

{
  "results": [
    {
      "input": "giannis papadopoulos",
      "contactId": "<on-device match id>",
      "firstName": { "original": "giannis", "greek": "Γιάννης", "shouldTranslate": true, "confidence": 0.95, "reason": "greeklish" },
      "lastName":  { "original": "papadopoulos", "greek": "Παπαδόπουλος", "shouldTranslate": true, "confidence": 0.97, "reason": "greeklish" }
    }
  ],
  "processing_time_ms": 1200,
  "batch_info": { "requested_count": 1, "processed_count": 1, "cache_hits": 0 }
}

The fullName is the personal data (required). The contactId is the temporary match token described above — an on-device identifier, not stored. The context is the country-code setting. Nothing else is transmitted.

Data Storage

All contact data, including your contacts with added international prefixes and processing logs, is stored solely on your device using standard iOS contact storage and our app's local storage for backups. Names sent for Greek processing are not stored on our servers.

Advertising

The free version of Qorrect is supported by ads served through Google AdMob, which shows banner and occasional full-screen ads. To do this, AdMob receives information from your device such as your IP address, device and operating-system type, and — only if you allow it — your Advertising Identifier (IDFA).

iOS asks your permission before any app may use the IDFA. If you decline, Qorrect still shows ads, but they are not personalised using that identifier. You can change the choice at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. Qorrect also declares Apple's SKAdNetwork identifiers, which let Google measure ad performance without identifying you.

AdMob's handling of this data is governed by Google's advertising policies. Qorrect itself never receives your Advertising Identifier or any advertising profile built from it.

The one-time Premium purchase stops Qorrect requesting or displaying any ads.

Analytics

Qorrect includes no analytics or crash-reporting SDK. We do not track how you use the app, which screens you open, or how often you open it. The only measurement is the ad performance reporting described above, and it applies to the free version only.

Your Rights

Your contacts are never stored on our servers, and names sent for Greek suggestions are not retained, so there is nothing on our side to export or delete. For advertising data held by Google, exercise your rights through Google's advertising controls, or remove the basis for it entirely by declining the tracking prompt or buying Premium. Questions: apps@qloud-ltd.com.

Changes to Your Contacts

Qorrect modifies your contact entries by adding international country code prefixes to phone numbers. These changes:

  • Do not alter any other contact information
  • Only modify the phone number fields in your contacts
  • Can be removed at any time by using the backup/restore function in the app or by manually editing your contacts

Children's Privacy

Our app is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the updated Privacy Policy on this page.
